Autoloader Repair Service

Our Autoloader Repair Service

Tape Autoloader Repair Service

We offer a fast turnaround on all tape drive repairs and hold a large inventory of stock tape drives for same day dispatch.

Our Autoloader Repair Service centre specialises in the repair of all manufacturer and formats of tape autoloader. From the smallest 6 tape DDS DAT unit to the latest 80 tape LTO6 autoloaders, we will get you back up and running with the minimum of delay.

Each autoloader repair includes fault diagnosis, a full service and is subjected to rigorous testing procedures to manufacturer standards and beyond. This ensures that your autoloader arrives back with you from repair, ready for the demands of a busy back up schedule.

A tape autoloader is a smaller version of a tape library, using a robotic mechanism to load and unload tapes into its drive without the need for manual intervention. Usually autoloaders have only one tape drive and this tape drive is not removable. When tape systems have more than one drive, they are usually then called tape libraries. No matter the number of drives, format or tape slots we can help.
